In
AdditionThe revised Uniform Methods and Rules (UM&R) uses the accumulated herd infection rate as a standard for classify-
ing states and areas. The four classifications are as follows.

map which follows. Initial area testing occurred from 1959-1973. The figures on the following chart include all infected
herds found during this time period and the total number of herds tested.Initial Area Testina

included infected herds disclosed in initial herd tests which usually were conducted in each county in less than one year.
The fiscal year 1982 data show that the 140 counties in the proposed Class B area meet the herd infection rate re-
quirements, i.e., 0.72% is well below the 1.5%. The data also show that the 114 counties in the proposed Class C
area did not meet the requirements for Class B status, i.e., the fiscal year 1982 herd infection rate of 2.72% exceeds
the 1.5% requirement. The immediate goal of the brucellosis program is to reduce infection statewide and qualify the
entire state for Class B status which would greatly reduce testing requirements for both intrastate and interstate movements
of breeding cattle.December 3, 1982 7 TexReg 4199
